Retirement tax questions

dmertz gave the answer above:

 

The entire premium is deductible, including the part of the premium that represents the IRMAA adjustment.  IRMAA simply means that you pay a higher premium. 

 

And where do you enter it?

 

Whatever portion is shown in Medicare Premiums boxes of the SSA-1099 box is automatically included on Schedule A.  The portion paid separately would be entered under Deductions & Credits -> Medical -> Medical Expenses -> How much did you spend on insurance premiums?  (On Schedule A there is no breakdown of the various types of medical expenses, they are all lumped together, so you can generally enter any type of medical expense in any type of the TurboTax box that asking for medical expenses.  The breakdown is for your personal recordkeeping.)
